Our verdict
True to how it's billed by Adidas, the Adizero Adios 6 is a racer/training shoe that can deliver a fun ride from 10k to half marathons. It runs like a traditional racing shoe but with a modern twist. For reference, it's much like the New Balance Rebel v2 but with more control. A fair warning: For heel strikers, it can be a bit clunky and stiff at the rear. Experts also recommend against using it for anything farther than half marathons. In such a case, they advise going for carbon-plated shoes instead.

A speedster from Adidas
Yeezy 500 High Brown Grey Adidas does not make use of any carbon-fiber plate to up the runner's pace. Instead, it gains speed through its utilization of Lighstrike Pro tech (also present in the brand's propulsive elite racer Adidas Adios Pro). The foam is not only light but is also very energetic and bouncy, which are the essentials of a fast-paced run.
The Torsion System shank at the bottom also makes the ride more stable and snappy.
